About Peha-haft Absorbent Cohesive Bandage

The Peha-haft Absorbent Cohesive Bandage by Hartmann is a soft, conforming gauze bandage that bonds securely to itself without adhering to skin, hair, or clothing. Its self-adherent design eliminates the need for pins, clips, or tape, making it a practical and gentle option for a wide range of wound care and fixation applications. The highly absorbent, air-permeable fabric wicks moisture away from the skin while allowing airflow to support a healthy wound environment during wear. The bandage stretches and conforms to joints, rounded limbs, and other contoured body areas, providing consistent and comfortable dressing retention without restricting movement or causing constriction. Free from natural rubber latex, chlorine, and acrylate, Peha-haft is a safe choice for individuals with sensitivities and is suitable for use on delicate or traumatized skin where traditional tape may not be appropriate.

Key Benefits & Features

• Self-Adherent, Cohesive Design: The bandage sticks firmly to itself without adhering to skin, hair, or clothing, providing a secure hold without the need for pins, clips, tape, or additional fixation of any kind.
• Highly Absorbent Gauze Construction: Woven from a soft blend of gauze and cohesive fibers with a high natural fiber content, the bandage absorbs moisture effectively to support a clean and comfortable wound environment during extended wear.
• Air-Permeable and Breathable: The open, breathable fabric structure allows air to circulate freely through the bandage, helping to keep skin dry and reduce the risk of irritation or heat buildup under the dressing.
• Conforms to Joints and Contoured Areas: The elastic, conforming construction stretches and wraps smoothly around joints, conical limbs, and irregular body surfaces without wrinkling or causing uneven pressure, making it ideal for difficult-to-dress areas.
• Gentle on Delicate and Traumatized Skin: Designed to be kind to the skin, Peha-haft is suitable for patients with fragile, sensitive, or traumatized skin where adhesive tape is not a safe or appropriate fixation option.
• Multiple Clinical Applications: Suitable for use as a first aid dressing, secondary dressing, or retention bandage, and for securing primary dressings, splints, IVs, leads, catheters, cannulae, and padding materials.
• Tear-by-Hand Convenience: The bandage can be torn by hand without scissors, streamlining application in both clinical and home care settings.
• Free from Latex, Chlorine, and Acrylate: Contains no natural rubber latex, chlorine, or acrylate, making it a safer option for individuals with common material sensitivities.

Who Should Be Using This?

Peha-haft is appropriate for patients requiring gentle, tape-free dressing retention, including those with delicate, sensitive, or traumatized skin. It is well suited for use on joints, rounded limbs, and other areas where standard tape or clips may be impractical. It is suitable for both clinical and home care use and is frequently used in wound care, rehabilitation, and post-operative settings.

How Do You Use or Apply This Product?

Wrap the bandage around the area to be dressed, applying light tension as needed. Stretch and overlap each layer slightly to activate the cohesive bond. When the desired coverage is achieved, press the end of the bandage lightly against the previous layer — no clips or tape are needed to secure it. The bandage can be torn by hand to the desired length. Avoid wrapping too tightly, particularly over joints, to prevent restriction of circulation or movement.
